Anonymous2. She was blocking the entrance.You will need to add 'unintentionally' or 'on purpose' in this and similar cases.

Thanyou,
But normally, In a sentence the subject (she) does ( intentionally ) the action of the verb (dropped / block) other than in passive voice. So we don't need to point out she did it intentionally. But in usage, if my spectacles just falls , I would say
"I've dropped my spctacles". which is "I" is the subject. "drop" is the verb- if
